These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining."

Before introducing the solution for determining the paging cause provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, first introduce the content of the inactive state introduced by 5G (5th generation mobile networks, fifth generation mobile communication technology) NR (New Radio, new air interface).

When a terminal enters the inactive state, the last serving base station stores the context of the terminal and the connection information of the NG interface with the serving core network, and the AS (Access Stratum, access layer) of the terminal also stores the corresponding context information. , including bearer, inactive identifier, home area, etc. The last serving base station is the anchor base station corresponding to the terminal.

In this way, the base station can page the terminal in the inactive state through the radio access network paging mechanism within the configured area, and the terminal can quickly resume data transmission based on the context information stored on the terminal side and the base station side. Low latency transmission.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is the second SIM card of the multi-card terminal that enters the inactive state, and the base station that finally provides services for the second SIM card is the anchor base station corresponding to the second SIM card. When the first SIM card of the multi-card terminal is communicating with the network side, and the network side needs to page the second SIM card, it is necessary to determine the paging reason for the network side to page the second SIM card, so that the subsequent page based on the paging reason can be determined. The paging reason is used to determine whether to respond to the paging.

The method for determining a paging cause provided by the present disclosure will be introduced first from the multi-card terminal side. Among them, a multi-card terminal is a terminal that supports the installation of two or more SIM cards.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for determining a paging cause. Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for determining a paging cause according to an embodiment, which can be used in a multi-card terminal. The following steps can be included:

In step 101, in response to determining that the first SIM card is in business communication and the target base station pages the second SIM card in the inactive state through the first paging signaling, the second SIM card sends a paging reason request to the target base station.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first SIM card is a SIM card that is in business communication on a multi-card terminal, the second SIM card is an inactive (inactive) SIM card on the multi-card terminal, and the target base station is a SIM card that covers all The base station in the area where the second SIM card is currently located. The paging reason request is used to request the network side for the target paging reason for paging the second SIM card.

In step 102, the target paging cause is determined based on the second paging signaling including the target paging cause sent by the target base station.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the paging cause request, the network side will determine the target paging cause for paging the second SIM card, and send the second paging signaling including the target paging cause through the target base station to the The second SIM card, so that the second SIM card determines the target paging cause based on the second paging signaling.

In the above embodiment, when the first SIM card of the multi-card terminal is in business communication, and the network side paging the second SIM card in the inactive state on the multi-card terminal, the second SIM card sends the paging reason. request, thereby requesting the network side for the target paging reason for paging the second SIM card, so that whether to perform a paging response can be determined subsequently according to the target paging reason, and the availability is high.

In an optional embodiment, for the foregoing step 101, the second SIM card may send the paging reason request to the target base station in any of the following manners.

In a first manner, the second SIM card sends a paging cause request to the target base station through first signaling.

Further, the second SIM card may send the first signaling to the target base station after adding the paging reason request in the original or newly added information element of the first signaling.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first signaling may include, but is not limited to, RRC signaling. Optionally, the first signaling may include RRCResumeRequest (RRC recovery request) signaling or RRCResumeComplete (RRC recovery complete) signaling.

Wherein, when the first signaling includes RRCResumeRequest signaling, the paging cause request may be added, but not limited to, in the original resumeCause (resume cause) information element of the RRCResumeRequest signaling. Alternatively, the paging reason request may be added in the newly added information element of the RRCResumeRequest signaling.

When the first signaling includes RRCResumeComplete signaling, the paging reason request may be added, but not limited to, in an original information element of the RRCResumeComplete signaling. Alternatively, the paging reason request may be added in the newly added information element of the RRCResumeComplete signaling.

In an example, when the paging cause request is added to the original information element of the first signaling, the original information element may be set to the first preset value corresponding to the paging cause request, so that the network side can base on the paging cause request based on the original information element. In the first signaling, it is determined that the second SIM card has sent a paging cause request.

For example, when the bit values of the original information unit are 001, 010, and 011 respectively, indicating the existing content in the existing standard, then the first preset value can be set to 100. When the bit value is set to 100, the network side determines that the second SIM card has sent the paging cause request.

In another example, when a paging cause request is added to the newly added information element of the first signaling, the newly added information element can be set to a second preset value corresponding to the paging cause request, and the network side can In the first signaling, it is determined that the second SIM card has sent a paging cause request. Optionally, the newly added information element may only be used to indicate the paging reason request, and the second preset value may be true.

For example, when the information element newly added by the first signaling is set to true, the network side may determine, based on the first signaling, that the second SIM card has sent the paging cause request. Conversely, if the newly added information element is set to false, the network side can determine that the second SIM card has not made a paging reason request.

The above is only an exemplary description, and other implementations in which the second SIM card sends the paging cause request to the network side through signaling should also fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In the above embodiment, the second SIM card in the inactive state on the multi-card terminal can send a paging reason request to the target base station through the first signaling, so as to request the network side to page the target pager of the second SIM card. Call the reason, the implementation is simple, and the availability is high.

In the second manner, the second SIM card sends the reserved preamble as the paging reason request to the target base station.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of reserved preambles that can be requested as a paging reason may be one or more, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

The second SIM card may send the reserved preamble as the paging reason request to the target base station, thereby requesting the network side for the target paging reason for paging the second SIM card. In practical applications, if there are multiple reserved preambles, in order to save terminal resources, the second SIM card can select any one of the multiple reserved preambles as the paging cause request, and will be used as the paging cause request. The reserved preamble of the reason request is sent to the target base station, and after the target base station receives the reserved preamble, it can be determined that there is a SIM card requesting the network side for the target paging reason for paging the SIM card.

Further, in order to facilitate the network side to determine which SIM card requests to obtain the target paging reason, the second SIM card may send its own identification information to the target base station while sending the reserved preamble. The target base station determines, according to the identification information of the second SIM card and the reserved preamble, the second SIM card that requests to obtain the reason for the target paging.

Optionally, the above reserved preamble may not be used for random access, but only as a paging cause request.

The reserved preamble can be reserved and configured by the target base station for the second SIM card. After receiving at least one reserved preamble configured by the target base station, the second SIM card can select any one of them as the paging reason request. Alternatively, the reserved preamble may be predefined in the protocol, and the second SIM card determines at least one reserved preamble defined in the protocol according to the predefined settings, and then selects one of them as the paging reason request.

In the above embodiment, the second SIM card can also send the reserved preamble to the target base station as a paging cause request, which can also achieve the purpose of requesting the target paging cause for paging the second SIM card from the network side, and the availability of high. Further, in order to facilitate the network side to determine the reason for the target paging and send it to the second SIM card, the second SIM card can also send the identification information of the second SIM card to the target base station to ensure that the second SIM card can be obtained by the network side later. The reason for the destination paging sent.

In an optional embodiment, for the above step 102, after the network side determines the target paging cause, the target base station sends the target paging cause to the second SIM card through the second paging signaling. The second SIM card may determine the target paging cause based on the indication of the target information element in the second paging signaling.

Optionally, the target information element may be an original or newly added information element in the Paging (paging) signaling, and the target information element may be used to indicate the reason for the target paging.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the reason for the target paging includes but is not limited to any of the following: there is a video call service, there is a phone service, there is an application notification message that needs to be pushed, and there is a short message or WeChat message.

The target base station may set the target information element to the corresponding preset value according to different preset values corresponding to different predetermined paging reasons, so as to allow the second SIM card to determine the target paging cause. For example, the preset value corresponding to the existing video call service is 00, the preset value corresponding to the existing telephone service is 01, etc., and the bit value of the target information unit is 00, then the second SIM card can determine that the reason for the target paging is the existence of video call business.

In the above embodiment, the second SIM card can determine the target paging reason for paging the second SIM card by the network side based on the second paging signaling including the target paging reason sent by the target base station, which is easy to implement and has high availability.

In an optional embodiment, after the target paging reason is determined through the second SIM card, the multi-card terminal may determine whether to perform a paging response according to service requirements.

In one example, in order not to affect the communication of the first SIM card, the multi-card terminal may determine not to perform a paging response.

In another example, if the service priority corresponding to the ongoing service of the first SIM card is higher than the service priority corresponding to the service of paging the second SIM card, the multi-card terminal may determine not to respond to the paging . Conversely, the multi-card terminal may determine that a paging response is required.

In another example, the multi-card terminal may determine not to perform a paging response if the second SIM card's paging response would degrade the quality of service of the ongoing service of the first SIM card. Conversely, the multi-card terminal may determine that a paging response is required.

In practical applications, the multi-card terminal may also use other methods to determine whether to respond to paging, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In the above embodiment, when the first SIM card of the multi-card terminal is in business communication, and the network side paging the second SIM card in the inactive state, the network can be determined through the paging reason request sent by the second SIM card. The target paging reason for side paging of the second SIM card, further, the multi-card terminal can determine whether to perform a paging response based on the target paging reason, and the availability is high.

Next, the method for determining the paging cause provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure will be introduced from the side of the target base station.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for determining a paging cause. Referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another method for determining a paging cause according to an embodiment, which can be used for a target base station, a target The base station is a base station covering the area where the second SIM card in the inactive state on the multi-card terminal is currently located, and the method may include the following steps:

In another example, the target base station and the anchor base station corresponding to the second SIM card are the same base station, then the target base station may send the first paging signaling in the case of receiving the third paging signaling sent by the core network device to page the second SIM card. The third paging signaling is a paging signaling sent by the core network device to the anchor base station for paging the second SIM card when there is data to be sent to the second SIM card .

In step 202, in response to receiving the paging reason request sent by the second SIM card, determine the target paging reason for paging the second SIM card by the network side.

The paging reason request is used to request the network side for the target paging reason for paging the second SIM card.

In step 203, a second paging signaling including the target paging reason is sent to the second SIM card.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the target paging cause, the target base station may send the target paging cause to the second SIM card through Paging signaling. At this time, the second paging signaling sent by the target base station includes the target paging reason.

In the above embodiment, the target base station may determine the target paging cause after receiving the paging cause request sent by the second SIM card in the inactive state, and then send the target paging cause to the user through the second paging signaling. Second SIM card. The purpose of sending the target paging cause to the second SIM card based on the paging cause request sent by the second SIM card is realized, and the availability is high.

In an optional embodiment, the target base station and the anchor base station corresponding to the second SIM card may be different base stations. For example, before the second SIM card is switched to the inactive state, the anchor base station assumes that base station #1 finally provides it with Service, after the second SIM card is switched to the inactive state, the location changes and is currently within the coverage area of the target base station, which is assumed to be base station #2, so the target base station and the anchor base station are two different base stations.

Correspondingly, any one of the following methods can be used to determine the target paging reason for the network side paging the second SIM card:

The first way is to directly obtain the target paging cause determined by the target base station.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the RAN Paging signaling sent by the anchor base station for paging the second SIM card, the target base station can determine the paging number according to the paging content in the RAN Paging signaling. Second SIM target paging reason. After receiving the paging cause request sent by the second SIM card, the determined target paging cause can be directly obtained, and then the target paging cause is directly sent to the second SIM card, without the need to obtain the target paging cause from the anchor base station. , shortening the time for the second SIM card to obtain the target paging reason, and saving signaling resources between base stations.

In the second manner, the target paging reason is obtained from the anchor base station.

Correspondingly, referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 3 is a flowchart of another method for determining a paging cause according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 . In the above step 202 , the target of paging the second SIM card by the network side is determined. The process of paging a reason can include:

In step 301, the paging reason request is sent to the anchor base station.

For the anchor base station, the implementation is simple and the availability is high.

In an optional embodiment, the target base station may be the same base station as the anchor base station corresponding to the second SIM card. For example, after the second SIM card is switched to the inactive state, the location does not change, or the location changes, but is still in the Within the coverage of the anchor base station, the anchor base station and the target base station are the same base station.

The first way is to obtain the determined target paging reason.
